Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

3 goals in 5 weeks is a poor return by any forwards standards, let alone one earning over $500,000 a year.

He has been poor.

Agree Crameri hasn't been great last two weeks but I thought he was on $450,000

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Looks like a huge danger game for us now! Melbourne will be licking there lips at the thought of us with No Coons, Griff, Gia, Grant, Roughy. That said it opens up the door for some further development of our young pups!

Outs: Griffen, Gia, Grant & Roughead. Cant see the need for any further unless they burn the house down tomorrow.

Ins: Honeychrurch, Stringer, Hunter & Williams

I have gone for Honeychurch over JJ as we should use the rest of the year to blood the kids.

Crameri: as other state he has been really poor since the ASDA notices came out, do you think that the club should sat take the 6 months and see you next year?
It would look a tempting offer with the way the cards have fallen for us now.

I said this on another thread, playing with the sword of damaclese over your head or suing a sports body et al isn't conducive to the tight emotion or mindset to play at an elite. I would take the offer of six months if I was in his position, but it's easy to say that when I'm not him.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Think people are going a bit overboard with dropping Crameri. Don't get me wrong, I actually do mean 'a bit' and I am frustrated by his form but it's only really been two bad games in a row. Against the Lions he wasn't great but he was far from our worst with 16 disposals, 1 goal and 7 tackles. The week before that he had 21 touches and a goal against Freo. Again not get, but not far from poor.

The Dees game is really big for him. We need him to lift.

I think the coaching staff will stick by him, but they should be very disappointed with his pressure which has been beyond poor for two weeks in a row. If the injured guys come up for next week, it puts pressure on Crameri because we can't realistically deny opportunities to guys at the lower who perform well when the senior team has been smashed.

Like last time we played them it's a danger game for them. Next Sunday we'll be the underdogs. At this point of their rebuild they should be well ahead of us and I think they are but only just.

Really? Would have thought we'd go in favourites.

We're $1.68 favourites with sportsbet. We're definitely ahead of Melbourne for mine, even with today's loss.

Cant see how these odds are correct, They will be adjusted once we have announced our outs for next week.

He has been poor.

Agree mate but it's not Supercoach, you don't get picked relative to what you earn!

No doubt at all he isn't paying to his pay packet but he is in our best 22.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

Out: Tutt aka Mr Concrete Hands, Crameri for showing about as much commitment as a junkie on a work-for-the-dole program, Griffen (inj), Grant (inj), Roughead (inj).

Don't know about the ins yet but looks like plenty of opportunities.

He is in our best 22 when fit and in form, but like any other player, when you're playing as poorly as he is you shouldn't be a protected species.

I think he is either carrying an injury (his lack of running ability is noticeable) or he's mentally struggling with everything that's going on. Whatever it is, I don't see any justification for Crameri to be playing seniors next week.

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

I think Williams will come in

Do you want him to come in?

Unsure about that but what I do know is the coach likes him

Re: Match Committee - Round 15 vs Melbourne

In - Talia Honeychurch ( stringer or Hunter)
Out - roughy ( if he isn't fit, don't play him) Griffen ( clearly hampered, time for a spell) Gia ( he'll get 2)
If Griffen and Roughy are hampered please don't play them. The seasons shot and finishing 13 instead of 15th means nothing.
